Nice price. Good set of calling features. Softphone capability included. Simple enough to be idiot-proof.
One of the lowestcost home phone services on the planet
Highly portable
Use it nearly anywhere you go
Compact. Enables VoIP phones calls. Cheap.
The editors didn't like
Not quite as crisp as true landline
PC must be turned on to make calls
Only one line (and phone number) per magicJack for now. No Linux drivers.
Computer has to be left running 24/7
Customer service and technical support not available by phone
Must connect to your computer to work and installs software on your computer. No telephone-based technical support. Very difficult to reach live help. Difficult to find information you need. Product packaging contains almost no documentation. Frequent up-sell offers in setup process. Advertisements included. Ugly application looks like an unwanted pop-up ad.
